sonnel.

When the fuse blows out, eliminate the cause and have it

replaced with the fuse prescribed for this unit by a qualified

service engineer. Incorrect replacement of the fuse may

lead to smoke, fire, and damage to the product.

Observe the following warnings when

installing.

❑

Disconnect the lead from the negative (–) battery

terminal before installation.

Wiring and installation with the negative (–) battery termi-

nal connected may cause electrical shock and injury due to

a short circuit.

Some cars equipped with the electrical safety system have

specific procedures of battery terminal disconnection.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE MAY LEAD TO

THE UNINTENDED ACTIVATION OF THE ELECTRICAL

SAFETY SYSTEM RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHI-

and other items before installing the product.

If you need to open a hole in the vehicle chassis to attach

or wire the product, first check where the wire harness,

gasoline tank, and electric wiring are located. Then open

the hole from outside if possible.

❑

Never install the product in a location where it inter-

feres with your field of vision.

❑

Never have the power cord branched to supply

other equipment with power.

❑

After installation and wiring, you should check the

normal operation of other electrical equipment.

cause fire, electrical shock or a traffic accident.

❑

In the case of installation to an airbag-equipping

car, confirm warnings and cautions of the vehicle

manufacturer before installation.

❑

Make sure the leads do not interfere with driving

or getting in and out of the vehicle.

❑

Insulate all exposed wires to prevent short circuit-

ing.

CQ-VD7003U

English

Caution

Observe the following cautions when using

this unit.

❑

Keep the sound volume at an appropriate level.

Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of road and

traffic conditions while driving.

❑

Do not insert or allow your hand or fingers to be

caught in the unit.

To prevent injury, do not get your hand or fingers caught in

moving parts or in the disc slot. Especially watch out for

infants.

❑

This unit is designed for use exclusively in auto-

mobiles.

❑

Do not operate the unit for a prolonged period with

the engine turned off.

Operating the audio system for a long period of time with

the engine turned off will drain the battery.

❑

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or exces-

sive heat.

Otherwise these will raise the interior temperature of the

unit, and it may lead to smoke, fire, or other damage to the

unit.

❑

Do not use the product where it will be exposed to

water, moisture, or dust.

Exposure of the unit to water, moisture, or dust may lead

to smoke, fire, or other damage to the unit. Make especially

sure that the unit does not get wet in car washes or on

rainy days.

Observe the following cautions when

installing.

❑

Refer wiring and installation to qualified service

personnel.

Installation of this unit requires special skills and experi-

ence. For maximum safety, have it installed by your dealer.

Panasonic is not liable for any problems resulting from

your own installation of the unit.

❑

Follow the instructions to install and wire the prod-

uct.

Not following the instructions to properly install and wire

the product could cause an accident or fire.

❑

Take care not to damage the leads.

When wiring, take care not to damage the leads. Prevent

them from getting caught in the vehicle chassis, screws,

and moving parts such as seat rails. Do not scratch, pull,

bend or twist the leads. Do not run them near heat sources

or place heavy objects on them. If leads must be run over

sharp metal edges, protect the leads by winding them with

vinyl tape or similar protection.

❑

Use the designated parts and tools for installation.

Use the supplied or designated parts and appropriate tools

to install the product. The use of parts other than those

supplied or designated may result in internal damage to the

unit. Faulty installation may lead to an accident, a malfunc-

tion or fire.

❑

Do not block the air vent or the cooling plate of the

unit.

Blocking these parts will cause the interior of the unit to

overheat and will result in fire or other damage.

❑

Do not install the product where it is exposed to

strong vibrations or is unstable.

Avoid slanted or strongly curved surfaces for installation. If

the installation is not stable, the unit may fall down while

driving and this can lead to an accident or injury.

❑

Installation Angle

The product should be installed in a horizontal position

with the front end up at a convenient angle, but not more

than 30˚.

The user should bear in mind that in some areas there may

be restrictions on how and where this unit must be

installed. Consult your dealer for further details.

❑

Wear gloves for safety. Make sure that wiring is

completed before installation.

❑

To prevent damage to the unit, do not connect the

power connector until the whole wiring is complet-

ed.

❑

Do not connect more than one speaker to one set

of speaker leads. (except for connecting to a

tweeter)

●

Dispose of the battery according to the local regulations.

●

Do not disassemble, recharge, heat or short the battery. Do

not throw a battery into a fire or water.

In case of battery leakage

●

Thoroughly wipe the battery liquid off the battery case and

insert new battery.

●

If any part of your body or clothing comes into contact

with battery liquid, wash it with plenty of water.

●

If battery liquid comes into contact with your eyes, wash

them with plenty of water and get immediate medical atten-

tion.

Liquid Crystal Panel

¡Do not cause impact to the liquid crystal panel.

¡Usage temperature range: 0 °C to 40 °C

{32 °F to 104 °F}

When the temperature is very cold or very hot, the

image may not appear clearly or may move slowly.

Also, movement of the image may seem to be out of

synchronization or the image quality is not malfunc-

tion or problem.

¡In order to protect the liquid crystal panel, keep it out

of direct sunlight while the unit is not in use.

¡Sudden changes in the temperature inside the car such

as those which occur immediately after the car’s air

conditioner or heater has been turned on may cause

condensation (droplets of water) to form and, as a

result, the panel may not work properly. Do not use

the unit while these symptoms are in evidence but

leave the unit standing for about and hour, and then

resume or start use.
